Erosion of Coastal Slopes and Landslides
Coastal slopes (also called cliffs or bluffs) often are subject to active erosion processes such that their morphology, and thus their stability, is changing rapidly. There may be several erosion processes including active toe erosion that initiates other processes such as surface erosion and landslides. These concepts are presented based on observations of the bluffs along the shorelines of the Great Lakes (specifically Lakes Michigan and Superior) over a period of nearly 40 years. These lakes are subject to large lake level fluctuations and high waves. Superimposed on these on-going natural processes are the expected changes in the patterns due to climate change. The bluff materials have markedly different engineering properties along each lake. The state of knowledge with respect to shore erosion and associated bluff stability issues is presented including the available methods of predicting rate of erosion and determining bluff stability along with the controlling factors. The approaches to mitigating coastal recession are also described. The cost-effective solutions often are a combination of both stabilization and management approaches to minimize the impact.
